IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (11-28-16)
"Promoting education based athletics in Indiana"

Do you set goals for yourself in the classroom and in your sport? Do you follow through at the end of your grading period and the conclusion of your sport's season and grade your results?

For the student who may be struggling, or the athlete that is going through a slump, have you ever thought of setting short term goals? Short term goals are easier to track and they can supply instant gratification and encouragement if you achieve them.

If you are having a tough challenge or not achieving the playing time and results you desire, think about setting short term goals that challenge you in the short term. Whether it's to work harder, make your teammates better, or just impressing your coach, do the things necessary to separate yourself from the others on your team!
